Creating IBM DB2 Bind Packages for DataDirect Wire Protocol Driver Connections

In the UNIX environment, you must create a bind package for each connection between Integration Server and an IBM DB2 database that you make using the DataDirect (formerly MERANT) Wire Protocol driver. Without a bind package for each connection, the Wire Protocol driver will not work properly. DataDirect supplies a command line program to create the bind packages.

  To create a bind package for a connection using the DataDirect Wire Protocol Driver for IBM DB2:

  1. On the computer running Integration Server, open a command shell window.

  2. In the command shell window type: 

    bind19 dsn

    Replace dsn with the data source name for which you are creating this bind package. For example, to create a bind package for the data source name TBC, type:

    bind19 TBC

    Note:

    You are prompted for a user name and password if this information is not stored in the system information file.

    If successful, a message is displayed stating that the package was created and bound.

    For troubleshooting information, access the DataDirect Web site at http://www.datadirect-technologies.com and select the Product Documentation link.

  3. Repeat Step 2 for all bind packages you want to create.

  4. When all bind packages are created, close the command shell window.
